Mrs. Dodson pulled her usual tricks and tried to get some gift cards, a kiln to fire her ceramics, a candy machine and of course, a raise. Ms. P felt that a high five would satisfy her laundry list and Mrs. Dodson walked away ‘happy’.
She will have to follow up on Mrs. Dodson’s report of custodial staff complaints regarding “glitter everywhere” when cleaning her hallway. A debrief is scheduled for a later date.

Today is the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary!
Father, the image of the Virgin is found in your Church. Mary had a faith that your Spirit prepared and a love that never knew sin, for you kept her sinless from the first moment of her conception. Trace in our actions the lines of her love, in our hearts her readiness of faith. Prepare once again a world for your Son who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen!

meditated on Romans 12:9–18 and were reminded that when it comes to friendships, God calls us to:
💛 Do good and not harm — even to those who are different from us.
🤝 Share in the ups and downs with our friends.
😊 Be kind to everyone (yes… everyone).
🌟 Remember that every person is valuable.
👀 Look for the good in others — it’s always there.
And above all…
❤️ Kindness is one of the most beautiful gifts you can give.

Christmas is the summer of the soul in December. 🎄
